MADISON —
Mark Morgan has been named as executive director of the
Wisconsin Republican Party.

Morgan's
appointment was announced Tuesday by state party chairman
Brad Courtney. He replaces Mike Duffey.

Morgan
served as political director and the Wisconsin state
director for the Republican National Committee this year.
Republicans scored victories across the board in Wisconsin,
topped by Donald Trump being the first GOP presidential
nominee to win the state since 1984. U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson
also won re-election to the Senate and Republicans made
gains in the Legislature as well.

Courtney
says Morgan will build on those wins heading into the next
election cycle.
